Update

AWS is currently experiencing a power outage affecting two of its three data centers in Bahrain. The remaining center is currently over capacity, leading to widespread service failures. Since backups are hosted in the same region, recovery is dependent on AWS restoring local power and connectivity. We are monitoring the situation 24/7 and will update you the moment services begin to recover.
